12th Amendment to the Constitution
But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.
In order to be VP, a person must meet all requirements to be President (35 years old, natural born citizen). So, unless Congress passes a new amendment (2/3 vote required) and the states ratify it (3/4 of the states), no. Arnold cannot be President or Vice President. He can be a Senator, Cabinet member, or Chief Justice, though.
Hey, I love Spongebob too. I've got the first season on DVD and watch it regularly with the kids. I just needed something to put into the list and it was the first thing that came to mind.
F is for fire that burns down the whole town!
U is for uranium.. bombs!
N is for NO SURVIVORS!!
Warning!
This television will send out a distress signal to authorities whenever any program catering to an IQ of less than 80 is viewed. This includes games shows (Jeopardy excluded), reality shows, Spongebob Squarepants, and the CBS Evening News with Dan Rather.
And who's gonna bet that they'll require all private space flights be cleared through NASA, FAA, Homeland Defense, FBI, IRS, EPA, and DOJ?
Commercial ventures are rendering a government agency irrelevant. Bureaucrats exist only to propagate themselves and ensure their job security. Back them into a corner, and they fight like pissed cats.
Let's also not forget the *650,000 tons* (yes, you read that right) of non-WMD UN-banned weapons found by coalition forces in Iraq. 650,000 tons, and counting.
Don't forget the 3 trucks full of Sarin Gas discovered being brought across the Syrian/Jordan border by terrorists intent on using them to kill upwards of 80,000 people. Don't hear about THAT much on CNN, do you??
"Blue Canary" is actually called Birdhouse in Your Soul. Both "Birdhouse" and "Particle Man" are off "Flood".
Currently, only two TMBG albums are available. "NO!", their children's album, and "They Got Lost", a collection of rarities. But I'm going to assume that they will eventually have all of their albums available. Of course, I already have all of their albums on CD (and several on vinyl).
However, makers of new emulators have had to contend with copyright law, and with the DMCA, accusations of reverse engineering. For example, the Sony lawsuit against Connectix over VGS, the PSX emulator. With the advances of working emulators for current generation consoles (the PS2 and XBox), lawsuits are sure to follow.
Windows 2000 or Server 2003, most likely, and those are simply not operating systems to be laughed at.
No laughing at Windows 2k or 2k3?? You do realize this is/. we're talking about, remember?
Oh, the toys you will mod...

Furbys, Speak and Spells, and Teddy Ruxpins, oh my!
Been toying with the idea of modding my old Speak n Spell and Speak n Math to teach my kids basic algebra.
And I've got a friend that's been studying the Teddy Ruxpin story tapes to figure out the hidden signals to control the movements of the bear. His ultimate goal is to have the bear read stories from Penthouse with all face movements synced.
I work in the IT department of a county close to Baltimore. Our server can retain e-mail indefinitely (there is a space limit per mailbox, but not a time limit). However, our backups only go back 30 days. This is stipulated by the county lawyers.
As far as I've been able to figure out, this arose from a lawsuit against the county where an e-mail retrived from two years previous proved a county commissioner to be taking bribes in a zoning issue.
Rather than fix the corruption, just ensure that it's covered up more efficiently. Gotta love local governments.
All the more reason for private companies to get into the space business. I'm not saying that private companies can't cook the books, but at least there's laws in place to handle that.
The bargain forum on DVDTalk.com is the best for finding the best prices on new releases, price cuts on DVDs, and finding out the circular prices about 5 days ahead of the newspapers.
Amazon.ca is the best for newly released box sets and other deals. Even with the exchange rate, there have been some outstanding deals. Babylon 5 Season 3,4 and 5 for $USD40, Scarface Gift Set for $USD25 are some recent deals I've gotten. Even with international shipping, it still blows any other prices away.
Amazon.com sometimes has a temporary price cut, and DVDTalk.com is usually one of the first places to find out about it. Recently, they had the Dick Van Dyke Show Season One for $19.99, and it sold out within about 20 minutes after being posted to DVDTalk.
FatWallet is great for finding other deals. Friday Amazon sales are usually posted there Thursday night. And for those with the time to do grocery coupons, FW is THE place to find the best deals. My weekly grocery bills have dropped from $150 to less than $50.
The one thing that's better to have is a DOD security clearance. In the DC area, if you've got a security clearance, you can score a job in the low $60s with barely any experience. Since it can take upwards of 18 months to get clearance, most employers want new hires to already have clearance.

No Tom Bombadil either, and good riddance. Most boring part of the first book anyway.
Between Confessions and Galaxy Quest, I knew he was perfect to play our favorite intergalactic president.

And where does that leave sushi eaters??
Remember, Bush went to an Ivy League school. Would you hire him? We did, that's why he won the election. /troll
It's been rumored that there's going to be a five hour version of Gods and Generals released next year.
Slashdot leans down and says "My sentiments exactly."

The question should be... Is there really always room for Jello?
Let's hear it for Lesbian Country!!
Sorry, just the idea of Woz as the opening act for the Dead Kennedys puts a smile on my face.
A Canadian Space Agency????
Red Green, Bob & Doug MacKenzie, and Hockey Night in Canada, and this country has a SPACE PROGRAM??
